Revit MEP 2009 Subscription Resources

[kyle.bernhardt]

Revit MEP Community,
I wanted to alert you to a recently released White Paper on Revit 2009 Best Practices for Subscription customers. It is most certainly "Required Reading". Check out more info on my blog.

If you folks want to be the first to know about such things, subscribe to my RSS feed, which i conveniently have a blog post about.

There will most certainly be a great deal of discussion on this document, so I have spawned a Thread in the Revit Platform forum for everyone to discuss. Please go there for any comments or questions that you want to raise.

Cheers,
Kyle B

I love the video on download instructions, hehe

Though I didn't get a chance to win $100 on Amazon.com

I had issues trying to download on Vista with IE7. It wasn't until I used XP with IE7 that I could get a download. On Vista I got the error:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site <your url, I didn't want to type it>
Operation aborted.

The occurred in a second window that opened for IE7 (not a new tab) where the zone shows as an Unknown zone, Protected Mode: On. Normally the Subscription site is in my Trusted sites, Protected Mode: Off.

I'm not sure why the JavaScript button forced IE7 to another zone. Tell your web designers that links are still ok and far preferable to this button mess.
